Norway, 31.07.09, about 5mm

Maybe someone recognize the pics, they were posted in another thread a while back together with an Anthomyiidae. And Jorge suggested "Actia sp. or similar"

Yes, it is Actia

You can see the setulae on veins nicely.
However, I just can't see whether the cubital vein is bare or setulose. If it is bare, it is A. infantula.

Thanks, looking at the original pic I think it looks setulose, but it's not good enough to say for certain.

Am I looking at the right vein?

yes, thank you, those are the setulae I was looking for.

With our features visible, it is the female of crassicornis

Well, you did most of the work, with the pictures and blowups.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
